NO SLEEP: 8% of relationships have ended because of the other half's snoring

Two thousand people were quizzed and a staggering 60% wanted a peaceful night’s sleep without the added sound barrage.

The study also reveals that 8% of couples surveyed have ended relationships because of their other half's annoying aural habits.

And on average Brits would pay over 310 for just ONE HOUR of silence, if they could not get it any other way.

The study marks the first National Quiet Day which highlights the importance of piece and quiet, encouraging them to take a moment away from the commotion of daily life.

A spokesman from home appliance manufacturer, Whirlpool, which commissioned the study, said: “Noise irritation is one of the biggest bugbears of modern life, and incredibly the majority happen within our own homes, and it’s something that can arise at any time.

“Whether it’s the person next to you snoring all night long or your washing machine making a racket while you’re trying to watch TV, it’s surprisingly easy to get wound up by annoying sounds."

A car alarm, motorbikes, people talking loudly on their mobile phone, a car running outside your house early in the morning and a crying baby completed the top ten.

Sniffing, the rustling of food wrappers while you’re watching a film or TV show, a badly played violin and someone grinding their teeth also featured in the top 20.
